Course Information
Prerequisite information: CSE 120 is a required prerequisite.
To complete the projects in this course, you will need the ability to develop software programs using the C language. If you have not used C recently, you may want to refresh your knowledge using one of the many good books on the topic. In particular I recommend the classic, The C Programming Language, by Kernighan and Ritchie, because it is short and simple.
Class Description:
CSE123 provides an introduction to the concepts, principles, and practice of computer communication networks with examples from existing architectures, protocols, and standards. Topics include layering and the OSI model; switching; local, metropolitan, and wide area networks; datagrams and virtual circuits; routing and congestion control; and internetworking (a.k.a. The Internet).
